At this stage of my life? Nothing requiring customer interaction. I don't think I would like truck driving.

Telemarketer. I would hate that job. I would hate having to call someone while he/she is eating dinner with family or getting ready to go to bed at night. It's just cruel in my opinion. And working with kids. No experience with that.
One poster said no back-breaking work. I frequently do heavy lifting at work and never hurt my back. I know the proper way of lifting, lifting with legs, not with back or twisting my back. Unless this person is elderly.

> nurse or any nurse-like related jobs
> work at Wal-Mart (specifically because the type of craziness that goes with the customer there)
> work at Starbucks or any other fancy coffee shop (also don't want to deal with the type of crazy customers that goes there, with their crazy orders and all)
> cold-calling (I've tried it a couple of days...no...never again. I'd rather do Wal-Mart and Starbucks)

This should be the master list lol.

I absolutely will not do any one of these things, since at various points in my life, I have done one of them, except the pyramid scheme, and trust me, Ive had former "friends" try to rope me into this or that " amazing opportunity. "

Also want to add " customer " care anything to that list, I absolutely REFUSE to deal with " customers. " Most of them are whiny, over indulged cry babies and I just do not have the patience for grown adults throwing hissy fits, I was at a K-Mart the other day buying something for my daughter, and there was this lady on the verge of having a mental breakdown because something was not marked down for her, she was frothing at the mouth and just being an overall ****, and the poor cashier was just taking it and you could tell she was on the verge of tears, I would have reached over that counter and rang her up!

My Grandfather was right, the older you get, the more your tolerance for BS goes away.
